contractions vs constipation?

I just posted a little while ago about contractions feeling like constipation and I just had about bowel movement (thankfully lol) and I thought the cramps would ease up but now my stomach is harder my cramps are more intense and my back is aching. Im also feeling nauseous does this sound like maybe labor is coming? I didn't strain myself during the bowel movement.

I hope so! I'm gonna wait and see because it's not very strong right now. And my stomach is very tight in my ribs which it hasn't been before unless it was a little butt on one side. This is from left ribs to right ribs
